An almost perfect fall day in southeast Texas. Days like this present a reason to be out biking. I was out bikinbg today on the “Stroker Road – Huffman” route for a total of 40.46 miles<\/strong>. I started a little later than I expected leaving home at 11:29. By then most of the bikers on the route were probably back home. I did see two women biking on Tree Lane less than a mile from home but I didn’t see any one else until I was on Old Atascocita Road east of FM2100. I stopped to take a picture of Gum Gully and while I was off the bike these two bikers came up. They asked if I was okay and I told them I stopped to take a couple of pictures.<\/p>\n

After that I was by myself. The wind was stiff riding east on Old Atascocita Road but when I turned onto Ramsey Road it became a nice tailwind. I knew then riding north on FM2100 to Huffman was going to require extra effort and it did.<\/p>\n

Arriving in Huffman about 1:30 I rode to the Chevron station for a break. The station was extra busy today. After I got some Powerade I chose a place under the pump canopy and leaned back against a pole. As I sat there I noticed how many Jeep Wranglers drove by. Maybe the great weather brought everyone out for a ride. I was at 28.82 miles into the ride at this point. Once I finished I slowly stood up to get my muscles ready for the 11+ miles to home. The weather while I was at the Chevron station.<\/p>\n

It was so pleasant riding today. The sun was out with a totally blue sky, the temperature was not quite 90 and the wind was from the north at 9 mph to cool off any heat that I built up from biking.<\/p>\n

The “Stroker Road – Huffman” route is a popular one for me and other bikers in the area. Next Saturday the Ride Like an Eagle<\/strong><\/a> bike ride starts from Atascocita High School and will use many of the roads I was on today. I plan on doing this ride. The weather forecast looks great. Today was the 10th time on the route in 2015.<\/p>\n\n<\/colgroup>\n<\/colgroup>\n<\/colgroup>\n<\/colgroup>\n<\/colgroup>\n<\/colgroup>\n<\/colgroup>\n<\/colgroup>\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
